Eating out

The restaurant of the Besso hotel serves traditional food from the Valais canton as well as French dishes at good prices. The dining rooms itself is quite upmarket and if you have a larger group then there is a private room available for groups of up to fifteen.

Another good hotel restaurant is the 3* Les Bouquetins which specialises in flame grilled steaks and raclette – perfect mountain food. The restaurant could do with a bit of updating but the food is of a good standard and there is a children’s menu available for younger ones.

Le Trift is open throughout the day and is popular for those returning to the village as well as guests looking for a traditional Swiss meal in the evenings. Large groups can be accommodated as easily as smaller ones and there are local specialities available every Tuesday.

The Hotel Europe has a great selection on their menu from excellent pizzas to foie gras and even Thai curry – a great option for a group with differing tastes!

La Poine de Zinal is very family friendly with burgers, steaks, local dishes and delicious rostis on the menu. There is a also a children’s menu for younger members of the family and excellent desserts.
